   Effects of herbivory on above- and below-ground biomass partitioning in two arid-zone dwarf shrubs

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: G Oba CS Bjorå I Nordal

   Biomass partitioning by arid-zone dwarf shrubs between above- and below-ground fractions could be influenced by plant adaptations to herbivory. The response of potted Indigofera spinosa and I. cliffordiana to heavy and moderate top defoliations, compared to non-defoliated controls, was investigated...

   Influence of moisture stress on growth, dry matter yield and allocation, water use and water-use efficiency of four Indigofera species

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: A Hassen NFG Rethman Z Apostolides WA van Niekerk

   The effects of moisture stress were evaluated in four Indigofera species (I. amorphoides, I. arrecta, I. coerulea and I. vicioides) using a pot experiment under glasshouse conditions. The aim was to examine the influence of moisture-deficit stress on physiological attributes...
